Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
Clear documentation of poliomyelitis history
Multiple anatomical sites with osteopathy specifically identified
Evidence of bone pathology at each affected location
Causal relationship between polio and multiple site involvement established

MEAT Support

Clear documentation of poliomyelitis history
Multiple anatomical sites with osteopathy specifically identified
Evidence of bone pathology at each affected location
Causal relationship between polio and multiple site involvement established

Audit Caution

HCC Buddy guidance
Using when only one site is actually documented in the record
Failing to document multiple specific anatomical locations
Not establishing polio as the underlying cause of multi-site bone pathology
Confusing extent of involvement with severity of disease

Common Mistakes

HCC Buddy guidance
M89.68 — Osteopathy after poliomyelitis, other site (single site involvement)
M89.60 — Osteopathy after poliomyelitis, unspecified site (location not documented)
G14 — Postpolio syndrome (neurological focus, not skeletal)
M25.50 — Pain in unspecified joint (symptom without polio etiology)

Is M89.69 an HCC code?

Yes. M89.69 (Osteopathy after poliomyelitis, multiple sites) maps to HCC 92, Bone/Joint/Muscle/Severe Soft Tissue Infections/Necrosis under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, with a source-labeled community non-dual aged reference coefficient of 0.479. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes. It is billable for payment year 2026.

Coder answer: M89.69 is billable and maps to V28 HCC 92, Bone/Joint/Muscle/Severe Soft Tissue Infections/Necrosis. Open it in the Code Book for the tabular path, RAF, and MEAT checklist.

These are source-labeled model coefficients, not member totals. A category may still be removed by hierarchy or model cleanup rules. Weights are not directly comparable across models: CMS-HCC V28 and V24 use Community, Non-Dual, Aged; ESRD uses the dialysis continuing-enrollee model; RxHCC is the Part D continuing-enrollee, non-low-income, aged weight (a larger scale than CMS-HCC). ACA/HHS has no single weight — it varies by metal level. Actual per-patient RAF contribution depends on member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and the model year used by the payer. V28 is the CMS-HCC model phased in over payment years 2024–2026; V24 remains available for historical review.

MEAT review for M89.69

For M89.69, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule.

  • MMonitor: signs, symptoms, disease progression, or lab trending documented in the note
  • EEvaluate: test results, medication response, or physical findings reviewed by the provider
  • AAssess: explicit mention in the assessment or plan with acknowledgment of status
  • TTreat: medication, referral, procedure, therapy, or counseling tied to the diagnosis

What This Code Means

M89.69 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for osteopathy after poliomyelitis, multiple sites. Bone disease that develops as a complication of poliomyelitis affecting multiple different areas of the body simultaneously. M89.69 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (m00-m99), within the section covering other osteopathies (m86-m90).

Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, M89.69 maps to Bone/Joint/Muscle/Severe Soft Tissue Infections/Necrosis (HCC 92) with a source-labeled community, non-dual, aged reference coefficient of 0.479. No V24 mapping is shown for M89.69; use the applicable model and payment year when reviewing the V28 mapping. For CY2026 non-PACE Medicare Advantage, CMS uses 100% of the 2024 CMS-HCC model (V28). PACE uses a separate model blend. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes.

Document all affected sites in the medical record to justify the 'multiple sites' designation. For M89.69, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule. When documentation is ambiguous, coders should issue a provider query rather than assume the highest-specificity variant.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for M89.69 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Document all affected sites in the medical record to justify the 'multiple sites' designation
  • This code should be used when osteopathy from poliomyelitis involves two or more different anatomical regions

Clinical Significance

Post-polio osteopathy affecting multiple anatomical sites represents extensive skeletal involvement requiring comprehensive management and monitoring. This diagnosis indicates widespread bone complications from prior poliomyelitis with significant impact on patient function and healthcare utilization.

Documentation Requirements

  • Clear documentation of poliomyelitis history
  • Multiple anatomical sites with osteopathy specifically identified
  • Evidence of bone pathology at each affected location
  • Causal relationship between polio and multiple site involvement established
  • Comprehensive physical examination of all affected areas
  • Imaging studies supporting multi-site bone pathology
  • Coordinated treatment plan addressing multiple skeletal sites

Commonly Confused Codes

  • M89.68: Osteopathy after poliomyelitis, other site (single site involvement)
  • M89.60: Osteopathy after poliomyelitis, unspecified site (location not documented)
  • G14: Postpolio syndrome (neurological focus, not skeletal)
  • M25.50: Pain in unspecified joint (symptom without polio etiology)

Code Hierarchy

For M89.69, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule.

M89.69 maps to CMS-HCC V28 category 92, Bone/Joint/Muscle/Severe Soft Tissue Infections/Necrosis. See the ICD-10 to HCC mapping hub for how the V28 crosswalk works. The mapping identifies a payment HCC category for M89.69. Review its source-labeled HCC coefficient above, check the RAF Calculator with complete member context for CMS-HCC V28 PY2026, and confirm the documentation the chart needs before the code is submitted. HCC Buddy shows no RAF score unless every required source and calculation check passes.
